Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the local stretch.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one to write. We've got a long 16-day window here, and honestly, there's no real stand-out session that gets the heart pumping. The first few days are a write-off for any decent paddle, and while we get a couple of small windows, nothing shapes up into a true classic.
The only realistic chance to wet a line comes around Wednesday, July 23rd. It's been a long dry spell until then, a good couple of weeks of tiny or messy surf. On that Wednesday morning, we’re looking at Kennebunk Beach. There’s a small swell on the way, coming in at about 3ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 103, so don't expect any power. The real reason to check it out? We’ve got a light offshore wind blowing from the NE, which is gonna keep the surface clean. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This one gets the nod simply because it's the best of a very quiet bunch. Don't expect much, but if you're desperate for a small, clean wave, it's your only shot.
After that, it fades again. The afternoon of the 23rd stays clean with offshore wind, but the energy drops right off.
For the rest of the outlook, the surf is either too small, blown out by cross or onshore winds, or just not offering any quality. There are a couple of bigger pulses showing up, like 5ft and 5ft around July 21st and 22nd, but the winds are all over the shop and the quality is marked as poor. It's not worth your time.
So, there you have it. A lean two weeks ahead. But as we know, forecasts can change, and it never stays flat forever. Keep an eye on the sky.
Rusty.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
